NEWFLORA (Generic for DERMACINRX BACILLEX) Lifestyle Interactions

  • Ibandronate Sodium 150mg, Oral tablet, monthly

    • Interaction: Food
    • Severity: Major
    • Notes for Consumers: Take Ibandronate with water only, on an empty stomach at the start of the day. Taking Ibandronate with food will decrease the actions of the drug. Take Ibandronate at least 60 minutes before any other beverage, food, or other medication for the day. In particular, avoid dairy products and orange juice within 2 hours of this drug. Also avoid laying down for at least 30 minutes after taking this medicine. To avoid irritation to the esophagus (tube connecting mouth to the stomach), this medicine must be taken as directed.
    • Notes for Professionals: Ibandronate oral absorption becomes almost negligible if ibandronate is taken within 2 hours of breakfast. Even orange juice or coffee can reduce bioavailability. The ingestion of high-calcium foods can interfere with the absorption of ibandronate, and should not be eaten before or for at least 60 minutes after, administration of ibandronate. To achieve maximum possible bioavailability, ibandronate must be taken in the fasting state and at least 2 hours before a standard breakfast.
